This book is about the fascinating journey of a lifetime that all humans must travel. It is intended to encourage all of us to consider the subject of death positively and in the context of three clear objectives:

-to learn as much as one is permitted to know about the subject;

-to formulate a structured approach to living with one's knowledge of the subject;

-to allow nothing to overshadow the joy and pleasures of the present, or derail one's hopes and dreams for a meaningful life.
